Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Sects have their own grand competitions, and families also have their own grand competitions.

This is an opportunity to test the strength and cultivation of the younger generation.

Xu Qingzhou decided to hold a grand competition within the Xu family on the third anniversary of his succession as clan leader.

The first purpose is to encourage the young people in the clan to cultivate, giving them some pressure and motivation.

The pressure comes from the fear of being ridiculed if the ranking is too low.

The motivation comes from the generous rewards for ranking high.

The second objective was to gather the young people of the clan together to see if there were any overlooked or undiscovered chosen ones, so that they could be identified and invested in as early as possible.

After Xu Qingzhou informed the elders of this matter, they began to make arrangements.

This is a good thing for the Xu family. They had never held such an event before because the Xu family didn't have enough people to participate and didn't have enough treasures to reward them.

This matter was mainly handled by the Fourth Elder. The elders were ranked according to their strength. Although he was the Fourth Elder, he was the oldest, with gray hair.

Recently, Xu Qingzhou has been receiving new questions every day.

"Chieftain, may Muge and Xiaoluo participate?"

Xu Qingzhou looked at him with a speechless expression.

What kind of outrageous words are you spouting? Even though they're only at the mid-stage of the Profound Core realm, I'm not even guaranteed to beat them, even though I'm at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm. What's the point of having them participate? To humiliate other clansmen?

We hold this clan competition to put pressure on and motivate the younger members, not to discourage their resolve!

"They don't need to participate."

After noting it down, the Fourth Elder asked, "The double-elimination format you mentioned seems a bit more complicated than a normal knockout tournament..."

Xu Qingzhou raised her hand to interrupt him.

"We hold this clan competition to test their strength, not simply to select a first or second place. The double-elimination format gives them a chance to fail and unleash their full potential."

Normally, it's a two-person competition, with the winner advancing and the loser being eliminated. Xu Qingzhou felt that this wasn't suitable for the Xu family, so he told him about the double-elimination format.

The Fourth Elder nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Seeing that he might want to ask something else, Xu Qingzhou simply sent him away.

If it were truly some issues that needed to be considered, that would be fine, but every time they ask, it's always something obvious.

Xu Qingzhou even suspected that he was just bored and was using asking questions as an excuse to chat with him.

Xu Qingzhou had assigned this task to him because he saw that all the other elders had something to do, but he was idle because of his age. Now it seems that he made a mistake in assigning him the task.

.....

Soon, the day of the Xu family's grand competition arrived.

The Xu family compound is extremely spacious, with a special martial arts training ground in the backyard, which has ten training platforms.

Normally, the Xu family members either stay here or practice martial arts in the back mountain.

Most of the Xu family members were present today, as this was the Xu family's first major competition.

As the head of the Xu family, Xu Qingzhou, as usual, said a few words before starting.

Xu Qingzhou flew to the front of the sky, put his hands behind his back, and looked down at the many Xu family members below.

They all looked at Xu Qingzhou with admiration and respect. In the three years he had been the clan leader, the Xu family had undergone earth-shattering changes. Everyone had seen Xu Qingzhou's efforts.

In the eyes of the Xu family members, Xu Qingzhou is now the head of the Xu family; his words carry more weight than anyone else's.

Sometimes, when Xu Qingzhou met a member of his tribe, a simple greeting could make them happy all day.

"Ahem, the Xu Family Grand Competition officially begins!"

After saying that, Xu Qingzhou went downstairs and plopped down on the ground.

The Xu family members hadn't even had time to react.

Has it started yet?

It's over!

This is too fast! !

Other people can give long, detailed speeches, talking non-stop, almost starting from the origin of the world. But you, you've only given a single sentence.

Once everyone came to their senses, everything proceeded according to the pre-arranged plan.

There are two Xu family branches in Yunshan City and Yuhe City. Every year in early July, the Fifth Elder, who is in charge of testing the cultivation aptitude of the clansmen, will go there and bring over the young clansmen who are capable of cultivation.

Therefore, most of the Xu family members who are capable of cultivation are here.

A total of 550 clansmen participated in the Xu family competition this time.

Most of them were at the Qi Gathering Realm or the Spirit Absorption Realm, though some were bolder and at the Body Tempering Realm.

Three years ago, the Xu family had only about fifty people in the Qi Gathering Realm and the Spirit Gathering Realm combined, but now that number has increased tenfold.

Back then, the Xu family possessed none of the wealth, companions, laws, or land; now they have it all, and the talents of their clansmen have also been enhanced, leading to rapid development.

"boom!"

On the martial arts stage, Xu Yan punched his opponent away, causing him to stumble backward and eventually fall off the stage.

"Xu Yan, you've advanced!"

The Xu family member who had fallen off the stage stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Brother, you are truly amazing. I am completely convinced."

"My cousin has only been cultivating for two years less than me, so his future is promising."

As the third person in the younger generation to reach the Profound Core Realm, Xu Yan's participation in the clan competition was somewhat unfair.

But Xu Qingzhou still let him participate, just to set a goal for the clansmen.

As for why Xu Luo and Xu Muge were not chosen as targets for the clan, the reason is quite simple.

The goal is to strive so that there is hope of catching up, rather than something that can never be caught up no matter how hard you try.

Apart from Xu Yan, the other members of the bandit suppression team advanced smoothly with overwhelming force.

After all, they are more talented, enjoy more resources, and work harder, so such performance is inevitable.

Xu Qingzhou, sitting in the main seat at the front, had been watching the various martial arts arenas intently. He had watched almost every match, and his purpose was very clear.

The goal is to identify individuals with character flaws through their competition.

The Xu family has grown to a large number of members, and with so many people, problems are bound to arise.

We must promptly identify and correct any issues; if they cannot be corrected, we must nip them in the bud and prevent any destabilizing factors from escalating.

For example, if a member of the clan develops a distorted personality for some reason and becomes a cowardly and treacherous traitor, then it is necessary to deal with him in time to prevent him from causing a major disaster.

Not only Xu Qingzhou, but also the other elders, under Xu Qingzhou's instruction, watched each match attentively.

It is often said that one's drinking habits reveal their character, but in reality, a person's personality and habits can be more clearly seen in how they engage in power struggles with others.

The more important and numerous the elements involved in this battle of wits, the clearer it becomes.

To this end, Xu Qingzhou set generous rewards, with prizes for everyone from first to thirtieth place.

Moreover, the reward set by Xu Qingzhou is extremely generous, even among third- or second-rate forces.

With such generous rewards, all the clansmen participating in the competition naturally gave it their all, while some tried to take shortcuts.

Xu Qingzhou and the seven elders, with their sharp eyes, were looking for people who would stop at nothing and have no bottom line.

Of course, Xu Qingzhou was still searching for the Chosen One, but he hadn't found this fourth Chosen One yet.
